Dell Dimension 4700....No Sound!!!

YamahaSC · 07-09-2006, 08:20 AM

I have a Dell Dimension 4700. I recently installed Windows XP Professional onto, instead of Windows XP Home Edition, that it had originally came with. After installing it, there was no sound at all. This happened once before while my computer was under warranty, and the Dell Customer Service Agent that I chatted with sent me to www.driverguide.com to download a driver to fix the problem. But I cannot find the name of the file I downloaded. Does anyone know how I can restore the sound to my computer. Listed below is whatever information I could find on Dell's website about my sound card. Thanks!
"CARD (CIRCUIT), MULTI-MEDIA, AUDIO, SB0413"
"Analog Devices ADI 198x Integrated Audio"

I have tried downloading the driver from Dell.com, and running a PC scan from Dell.com, the driver does not work, and the Scan detects no problems. Any information that I've searched for on the internet don't seem to apply to my problem. I'd appreciate any help!

Did you do an upgrade or format and do a clean install?

Wow.... That is crazy how they sent you to driverguide for your driver.... Senseless.

Here is your driver, http://support.dell.com/support/down...&fileid=122481

Grrr... I really wish I could edit or delete my ignorant post.

For some reason I can edit my second post, not the first.

boburke, the edit button is only active for 30 minutes after you post.

Thanks for the driver link
